About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life as well! Between family dogs, coworkers' dogs, and dogs I get to pet on the street, I love them all! One day I hope to have a golden retriever of my own! I have a rotating schedule so I’ll have time to feed, walk, and hangout with your dogs mid week or weekend depending on the week! I live in a nice area with nice neighbors and with many places to take your pup for a walk or to a park to play fetch!
About: I grew up on a farm and so I handled a wide variety of animals. I’m in nursing school and want a side hustle that I will enjoy doing. I can walk dogs Monday - Friday from 5:30 on. I have my own 2 Fur babies at home. One being a 2 year old boxer and the the other being a 3 year old mix. I know a lot about animals because I grew up with them. I have worked with a vet in Wisconsin a bit too so I know how to look for signs of sickness.
“Tonisha took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent every day. We would love to have her sit for us again in the future!”
“Jackie and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Jackie was very accommodating to my care request and was communicative the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Jackie and her family!”
“My second time booking with Carley. She is an amazing pet sitter. Takes care of my boykitty like her own and is mindful of my place as well. Very professional and I highly recommend her when she is available. I dont need to worry to much if am away because she is reassuring me with amazing photos. I will book her again.”
“Shatoria was so great with my cats. She is very responsive and a great listener. I had a lot of changes in care instructions, and she handled everything patiently and without any issues. She kept me updated, followed all the details carefully, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Georgie and Weezy!! She was punctual, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages during her drop-in visits. Georgie really liked her and she tends to be more timid with strangers. We’ll definitely book with Kylie again!”
“Kiana was the best! She was so good with our dogs and gave them such great attention when she did her drop in visits for us. She went above and beyond and was so intuitive, even shoveling our sidewalks and putting salt down for us when it snowed, without us even asking her to. She is a delight and handled everything very professionally. I highly recommend her, and will definitely use her again!”
About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets, having owned and nurtured dogs, cats, and cockatiels throughout my life. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply offering companionship and reassurance, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My reliability, patience, and genuine love of animals help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Because pet sitting is my primary focus, I offer a flexible schedule and reliable availability. I can adapt to your pet's routine and provide the attentive, personalized care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I provide pet care in the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own home, helping minimize stress and maintain their regular routine while you're away. While I do not offer overnight stays, I can accommodate multiple visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or basic care, I am committed to providing reliable, attentive service and plenty of love and attention during every visit.
About: We have a 11 year old terrier-pit mix who is a playful old girl and enjoys nurturing small Dogs. She grew up with a Chihuahua and children so she is a patient play mate. I am available for doggie daycare and boarding. Your dog will enjoy attention from me and my two kids and is welcome to join my spouse on an early morning run. We have a large fenced yard for your dog to enjoy during their stay. There is also a porch they can lounge on to soak up some sun.
“Lynne was absolutely amazing!!! It was as so comforting knowing that our little Riley was taken so well care of while we were out with friends. The pictures and follow up notes on their time together was wonderful to receive. We will definitely be booking with Lynne again. She truly cares about our furry family members”
About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 16 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after American pit bulls, a large Newfoundland, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.
About: Animals are my passion and I love taking care of them. I grew up with dogs and cats. Some with anxiety issues, some with limiting physical issues. I definitely have experience with all the personalities our fur face family members can have. It’s very important for me to advocate for our best friends when they can’t advocate for themselves. Putting a smile on their face with a walk or a trip to the dog park or just extra pets at home is the best! I’ve been taking dogs on outings for years now. Whether it be a stroll around the neighborhood or to the local dog park. A tired dog is a good dog is my motto. I look forward to working with you! Please contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for reading. 🦮

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cottage Grove stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cottage Grove choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cottage Grove with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottage Grove. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
